WinXP SP2 slow file selection

[Guest]

I have had this happen to several computers after upgrading to XP SP2. If I
right click on a file, it takes about 45 sec for the menu to appear. If I
dbl click on a file, it takes about 45 sec for the program to launch.

Any ideas?

Right click causes an error and crashes
Explorer.exe after installing Windows XP SP2?

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused
by context menu handlers
